Help With A Stamp From GB.

Hi everyone! I don't know anything about this stamp. I don't even know if it is a true stamp and it also seems to have a tiny perfin on the upper right side that reminds an infinity simbol. So if anyone could tell me anything about it I would appreciate.

I am interested to see what the experts say. I like that "stamp" I saw Rod post it earlier in a little album he was interested in buying.

Very common,
it is a mutilated stationery piece.
A newspaper wrapper indicia.

I like them, often carry exciting print Postmarks.
(As yours has N.P.B = Newspaper Branch)

Never seen an example that has been punctured before "8" or "S" ?

Not sure of Pmk (Postmark) "Killer" Type,
Probably belongs to the family Numbers #15 or #16

Your code appears to be "K"

Very helpful! Thanks a lot, Rod222.

Newspaper Wrappers
Post Office and S.T.O (=Stamped to Order)

Date of introduction 1st October 1890
Letterpress by De la Rue.

Bib: T. Brightmore "Postal Stationery of Great Britain"

The Icon triplex at lower Vignette, are images of the "Tudor Rose"
wiki
It also allowed Henry to invent and exploit his most famous heraldic device, the Tudor Rose, combining the so-called Lancastrian red rose and the White Rose of York. This floral union neatly symbolised the restoration of peace and harmony and his marriage in January 1486 to Elizabeth of York. It was a brilliant piece of simple heraldic propaganda

Wow! Great job, Rod222. Just after your first answer I've started looking for newspaper wrappers and I have found a site that states as follows "Newspaper Wrappers are perhaps the least popular of philatelic items amongst collectors. At one time there was a practice of collecting a cut out of the imprinted stamp from the newspaper wrapper. This practice has now generally fallen out of favour and newspaper wrappers are now collected intact. Because of this past practice there are many newspaper wrappers which as a result are rare or even unique as complete wrappers and some wrappers are rare even as cut outs."

So I guess I have a leftover of this old practice...lol

Yes, that's a great link.

I do tell a lie, I found a PERFIN wrapper piece in my collection,
K&T / Ld on a green KEVll half penny wrapper.

These had caught my eye a few times. Though they might have fallen out of favor with collectors- I think they are very interesting and I enjoy the detail and look. I snagged a few tonight for a couple of dollars and will make a page for them in my GB album. I suspect I will need to make some homemade pages which will be fun.

Your hooked Nora, abandon all hope,
Philately shall be a part of your life henceforward....
What a great obsession...

Indeed. I am obsessed :). With all of the responsibilities that I have (wow especially now with the pandemic) - Mom to young boys, My Marketing career and demands, my commitment to exercise 5-6 times a week...and yet I still steal every little break I have to work on my stamps. So yes - I think stamps are part of my life and not a fleeting fancy. Stamps are a Joy.
